Gernert Pounds HR #300:
It's official. Dick Gernert of the Kansas State Wildcats hit his 300th home run tonight.
The Kansas State Wildcats took on the Evansville Purple Aces and downed them 7-1, but the big story of the night was the milestone home run for Gernert. He rounded the bases with a smile and politely stepped on home plate and walked back to the dugout.
"300 is a big number, and I am thankful for the ability to get to this milestone. But it's all about the team today, my accomplishments are just one piece to the Wildcats puzzle."
The Wildcats first baseman went 2-for-4 with 1 home run and 2 runs batted in as the Kansas State Wildcats topped the Evansville Purple Aces.
His career numbers show Gernert is batting .252 with a total of 300 home runs.
